  1. And I get this, but then not one of these top companies should talking about growing the game, or making it for all, because it isn't. They can't have it both ways. And equipment wise how hamstrung are you going to be trying to play in club tournaments using Kirkland spin master specials. However at better levels your buying balls way less and are better off buying the best balls as you don't lose them so much and the covers are durable.
  2. So I think this is the point I’m getting to. For golf freaks they will go find the deals, and find a more affordable way’s to play. However I am trying to get my son into playing more and now as he moves out onto his own I can tell he’ll just quit playing. He seems to enjoy casually playing and would get into it, but as he gets to college and beyond will likely not play as it’s expensive. I totally agree on the there are deals if you look, and the just don’t pay it. With clothing and accessories that is an option. Like someone else said with single clubs, like drivers it’s a super hard option. I could go buy used, but for how much I play it’s not the best option. I just see the game getting out of reach to a lot of people and even more so with the club manufacturers as the price of clubs is getting higher.
  3. I acknowledge I can just not buy the expensive products. I just hate that it costs the cheaper stuff to go up in price because they ca. I am also appreciative of the weekly emails this site sends when they find deals of the week. Been very helpful for as I have bought many items using those deals.
  4. Has golf jumped the shark to a degree? Seeing even this site talking about an $80 hat, serious? I saw somewhere a review on $400 golf pants. This is a joke, a pair of pants almost half the price of a new set of clubs. I have a tough time getting family members who would be new to the game because of the elitist stigma then I see this. Maybe I'm turning into old man yelling at clouds but what the heck is going on The price of a nice round of golf to splurge for my high school kid would be almost $500 for two and it's a joke that this is "public". Sorry for the rant but damn.
  5. New to this thread but I grinded a bit today and it’s weird how with my driver tempo I have to go at it to get consistency. Otherwise struggle with letting the club release and having a huge push slice. Also a fair amount on chipping and keeping a real shallow path and I need to find a drill to work on keeping a shallow path chipping. Anyone have any chipping drills to help that they like?
  6. IMO like everything else the more you educate yourself the more you help yourself. I don’t watch YT to fix my swing, I use it for training ideas, learn about swing mechanics and things like that. There are some YT people, for me like MrShortGame, that I can’t watch, but it’s just me some people love him. Top speed golf clay Ballard had a tip that just clicked with me and I can now diagnose and fix quickly on my big push slice and releases the club head. I know a good teacher would advance my game miles however and like others have said is generally the best option. My problem is I have looked into teachers in my area and they don’t get the best ratings and driving a long distance for lessons is tough at this time. Great option, video yourself! You see the problems on YT and you if you have educated yourself a little you’ll see the big issues quickly.
  7. If you’re looking at purchasing clubs in the future watch Club Champion, used to be TXG. The are a club fitting shop out of Toronto if I’m not mistaken. They are very knowledgeable and over time now I have learned what I should be asking and trying when I am buying any new clubs. As for gambling I really like RickRunGood. Has tons of content each week on daily fantasy and golf betting. As for lessons MIchael Breed’s content is fairly good. I find with instructional videos and content it’s very personal. Whereas some like certain people I find some not tolerable. As for audio podcasts I love Shotgun Start and the stuff done by Fried Egg. A lot of course architecture content and the focus.
  8. When it comes to Randy listen to him and Tron on their Trap Draw podcast. It’s very little about golf but a very snarky and sarcastic humor to the show. Randy provides a less intense golf perspective an at times takes the contrarian view just to provide it, so it seems to me. IMO he likes golf, but not the pretentiousness it brings at times and is just a more relaxed less serious individual. I didn’t care for his takes at first but he has become my favorite take on things at times. They all seem to have a roll and play into it. I would also encourage people to take in the Cookie Jar Podcast. It’s a couple guys out of the U.K startling to follow the same mold. Good podcast and are starting videos now also.
  9. This is exactly right! I typically walk also but ride when I play with my step-dad who has a knee issue and can't walk 18 so we ride. A month ago it was just us and three women walking were pushing us playing lightning fast so we let them go. Just cause we have a cart doesn't mean we are faster as my step-dad just moves slower. I've walked countless times with friends and played up the ass of a group of cart riders who just play slow. There is nothing wrong with slow play as long as they know it and let people play through, be polite and not a dick about it and as to play through. Some people know they are slow and will let you go through. People should be able to booze up all they want and enjoy your day, your paying for it. As long as it doesn't interfere too much with everyone else. Nobody is playing for money or anything so just enjoy the day.
